Welcome to Lara’s Adventures!
Hello! I’m Lara, a freelance journalist, writer and traveller. I live in Valencia, Spain with my husband, six month old baby Zephyr and our dog Duffy. I previously lived in Cairo, London and Beirut.
I started Lara’s Adventures in January 2022 to update my family about my travels in Latin America and over time it has metamorphosed into a place where I write about my life in Valencia, growing family, travels and pieces of art which inspire me.
Why Subscribe?
On Sunday, I publish Sunday Scribbles, a weekly diary entry exploring my life, thoughts and views about the world. Come for musings on new motherhood, unnecessary alliteration and optimistic outlook.
Each Wednesday, I will send you a Wednesday Wanderings about Valencia, or one of my favourite ever places or a cultural experience that inspired me greatly.
My Story
I’ve wanted to be a writer ever since I started devouring books as a small child, and I have worked as a journalist after I graduated with a degree in Modern Languages & Cultures. First in London and then in Cairo.
My reporting has appeared in Monocle, The New Arab, Semafor, Middle East Eye, The New Internationalist, Business Insider, Metro, Wired for Adventure, The Africa Report and and more. To read more of my work, head to laragibson.co.uk.
Love my writing? Why don’t you buy me a coffee to help me keep creating.
